Operating an indoor straight stairlift is simple: take a seat, fasten the seatbelt and push the armrest paddle control. Apply constant pressure on the paddle control (which can be located on the left or right armrest) to travel up or down the steps. Bruno stairlifts are engineered to travel slightly faster going upstairs than down.

When
a stairlift user reaches the top of a staircase, the rider swivels the seat to
safely exit away from the stairs. The Easy Turn seat on a standard Bruno indoor
straight stairlift allows the rider to turn and lock the seat at either 67- or
90-degrees, enabling them to get off the stairlift safely.
A wireless remote control is included with straight stairlifts to allow the stairlift to be “called” up or down the stairs for use by a second person or to stow the stairlift on the other end of the rail. The remotes should only be used when a rider is not on the stairlift.
Indoor straight stairlifts feature a unique vertical rail that provides a visually-pleasing, sleek design while maximizing open space on the steps. Stairlifts install closer to the wall and create the most open space possible on the steps.
Stairlifts feature a “soft start/stop” mechanism which reduces maximum travel speed to a gentle stop at both the top or bottom.

the stairlift user to get off the lift.

Installation takes only a few hours for a straight outdoor stairlift. A dealer will cut the rail to the needed length and secure the rail by anchoring several “feet/supports” to the stair tread. The number of supports needed is dependent on the rail length.

Outdoor straight stair lifts are powered by two 12v batteries that are charging whenever the chair is parked at the top or bottom of the rail. Because the stairlift is battery operated, it will operate for a period even in a power outage. A typical straight outdoor stairlift will operate for 10-15 round trips in an electrical outage, depending on the condition of the battery, weight of rider and length/angle of the stairs.
The AC stairlift charger plugs into a regular household outlet and should be protected from the elements. For easy reference, the AC charger uses LED green, yellow and red lights to show battery charging status.
"We Buy Wheelchair Lifts!
Often called a wheelchair lift or porch lift, a VPL vertical platform lift is a cost-effective home accessibility solution to give scooter, wheelchair or powerchair users an alternative to navigating entryway or deck steps.
People often choose a residential platform lift instead of a ramp for certain applications due to space efficiency and ease of use. Because there must be a foot of ramp for every inch of rise, a ramp can become very long for the space and tiring for the mobility device user.
Vertical platform wheelchair lifts are either powered with Batteries, or with normal household (AC) current.
come standard with AC power, and can be upgraded to battery power. All 10' units come standard with our battery option. Unlike using AC power, the battery option will continue to work in a power outage and provide you with several round trips without recharging the batteries.
While a vertical platform lift is a free-standing unit, there are several common site prep considerations prior to installation. Because a concrete pad is required for a platform lift to create a proper approach for a wheelchair or scooter, there may be concrete work needed. In addition, there might be preparation needed for the landing gate to be installed at the top landing. Also, it may be necessary to run electricity to the location of the platform lift to power the lift or the battery charger.
You will most often find residential platform lifts on porches or decks to provide access into the house from the outside. In some cases, people need a platform lift in their garage for access into the house.
A residential VPL wheelchair platform elevator lift is used for most porches in mobile homes includes everything needed for proper, safe usage of the device, but there are also several popular options. As the wheelchair lift travels upward, the platform ramp folds to stop a mobility device from rolling backward. An optional platform gate can give an extra level of safety and security. Rather than pulling a platform gate open manually, some people also choose to add a power operator that opens the platform gate with a push of a button. There are also many optional platform sizes to accommodate various size mobility devices.
